    Seven girls on the bus 7 x 2= 14 legs

    Seven girls x seven backpacks = 49 backpacks

    49 backpacks x 7 cats = 343 cats

    343 cats x 4 legs each cat =  1,372 legs

    343 cats x 7 kittens = 2, 401 kittens

    2,401 kittens x 4 legs = 9,604 legs

    14 girls' legs + 1,372 cats' legs + 9,604 kittens' legs + 2 bus driver's legs = 10,992 legs total
